2010 Peugeot 107 1.0L Petrol · RO10 XKX

This Peugeot 107 presents a remarkably clean roadworthiness record, characterized by a total absence of advisories or defects across its recent testing history. The latest pass on 2 July 2025 maintains a trend of mechanical stability, with the only blemish being a one-day failure in June 2024 that was immediately rectified. Such a consistent lack of flagged faults suggests a vehicle that has remained in a state of basic compliance without chronic recurring issues. The recorded mileage of 54,226 miles is exceptionally low for a sixteen-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 3,389 miles per year. Of particular note is the significant testing gap between November 2021 and June 2024, indicating the car may have been off the road or minimally used for nearly three years. This pattern of low utilization and prolonged inactivity often shifts the mechanical risk from high-mileage wear to issues caused by stagnation, such as perished rubber seals or seizing components. Given the lack of specific MOT defects, the physical inspection should focus on the effects of the identified periods of inactivity. During the test drive, pay close attention to the brake pedal feel for any signs of binding calipers or uneven braking, which can occur when a vehicle sits for extended periods. Listen for knocks or creaks from the suspension bushes and coil springs, as rubber components can harden and crack over time regardless of the low mileage. Ensure the engine reaches operating temperature smoothly and check for any signs of oil misting or leaks around the engine bay that may have developed during the long gaps in usage. While the structural integrity has passed recent tests, a manual check of the underbody for surface corrosion is advisable given the vehicle's age. Verify that the clutch takes up smoothly and does not slip, as low-mileage city cars often experience premature clutch wear due to frequent stop-start operation.
